I did the same thing. If you contact their support through the website, they will switch it over to an upgrade code. The lady that did mine also added a month of game time to compensate for the price difference.

This guy is new to the shard and I have done several high end weapon deals with him including a bow enhance deal that resulted in me having close to 3.5 mil worth of materials tied up prior to getting payment. Every deal has went off without a hitch; payment delivered promptly without any price haggling after the fact unlike some people who will remain nameless but we all probably know who this party is. It has been a pleasure doing business with him.

Really People? Just because people hang out with the 1 person in our guild that has scammed, "Diablo"... does not mean you should judge them by who they are around. The guild we are in now has some cool people and chase is definately one of them.

Glad to hear that as I am waiting on the timer to sell him my luna house!

thanks guys I appreciate the rep support. Yea one more day and I'll be able to buy that house. I've been here a few weeks now, been trading my gold on napa for gold here. still have a lot left there though if anyone is interested and have some very cool original event rares if anyone is interested. btw I'm looking for a decent dragon and demon slaying archery wep if anyone has any for sale.

I'd like to add that just because the OP has gold to spend does not mean he wasn't a real candidate for NEW.

I know there were a few players giving him a hard time because he had a NEW tag yet he was able to buy things he wanted, resulting in him quitting the guild before he felt ready. It doesn't matter whether a player has gold or not because there are various ways to obtain it and still be new to Siege, thus have the right to join this service guild. The same applies to returning players who don't have high skills.
Had his skills been high, we would have helped him find a guild asap, because being a candidate for NEW is about skill levels first and foremost. When someone gets their skill levels up and have been with us a while, I hint (strongly and often sometimes) that perhaps it's time they joined a guild, I don't tell them they have to leave because they have gold.

If you're still confused about what being new means then feel free to contact me and I'll explain it to you ...because it's certainly not about how much gold someone does or does not have.

I can agree with this. I think the only problem is this:

-Many players see NEW and will give them hand outs, thinking they have very little.

-Some NEW members have camped IDOC's and expected to not be killed.

I am an obvious supporter of NEW, but I wish some things were outlined for them a bit better.

People are rude to a lot of folk, based mainly on their "Speed" in game. Problem is, not many SP players realize that on production shards, if you aren't "Fast" you're dead meat...because almost everyone in PvP there is quicker than normal.

If any handouts as you put it are to be given to individual NEW players, it's better for that to be a little time spent giving them some advice, on templates, training or how to earn gold.... it's always easy to spend someone elses money, and I think they appreciate it more if it's earned.

While NEW/new players have as much entitlement to camp IDOC's as anyone else, they are also aware of the activity that surrounds them and are naive if they expect other players to let them take whatever there is without being attacked, they have put themselves in that position, and if others choose to attack them.... so be it.
